Light Requirements:
- Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light is perfect for this plant. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves.
- Low Light Tolerance: It can tolerate lower light but may not grow as vigorously or develop its characteristic vibrant colors.
Watering:
- Watering Schedule: Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Avoid letting it sit in water, as this can cause root rot.
- Frequency: Depending on the environment, this might be every 1-2 weeks, but always check the soil moisture before watering.
- Humidity: Prince of Orange plants enjoy moderate to high humidity, so misting or placing the plant on a humidity tray can help.
Temperature:
- Ideal Temperature: They prefer temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C).
- Avoid Cold Drafts: Don’t place it near cold windows or air conditioners, as it can damage the plant.
Soil;
Well-Draining Soil: Use a loose, well-draining potting mix that retains moisture but allows excess water to escape. A mix designed for aroids or houseplants works well.
- Repotting: Repot the plant every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide more room for growth.
